per Greder:
But seriously, the Gophers are not only collecting but using data generated by Catapult Systems on how fast players run, how much they are exerting on the field and when they might be red-lining and on the verge of a muscle injury.
This data isn’t new, including within the Gophers program. It dates to former coach Jerry Kill’s era in 2013.
Fleck is putting it it to use like he never has before. Last year, he acknowledge he doesn’t use analytics much when making in-game decisions, such as when to go for it on fourth down, but he has embraced player-tracking data this fall.
“The data is telling you something,” Fleck said. “Are you willing to listen?”

Data has replaced gut feelings in Gophers’ preparation for Big Ten grind
Minnesota is relying on data and spreadsheets more heavily than ever this football season.
